Proverbs 3:12 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The first distinct utterance of a truth which has been so full of comfort to many thousands; it is the summing up of all controversies (compare John 9:2) as to the mystery of suffering. The apostle writing to the Hebrews can find no stronger comfort Hebrews 12:6 than this; the Church, in her visitation service, has no truer message for the sufferer.

Proverbs 3:12

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
